Feadship is the standard against which all other superyacht builders are measured, operating from the De Vries and Van Lent yards in the Netherlands with six decades of fully custom steel motor yacht production that has defined the upper register of the charter market. Twenty Feadship yachts cruise the Bahamas and Caribbean, representing the deepest charter fleet from any single high-end yard in the region. Rum Cay is a compelling destination for a Feadship charter week, offering Port Nelson’s deep-water anchorage, the exceptional Rum Cay Wall dive system and the passages toward San Salvador, Long Island and Cat Island that make the central Bahamas among the least explored and most rewarding parts of the archipelago for a vessel with the range and self-sufficiency a Feadship carries. Charter rates for Feadship yachts in the Bahamas typically range from 200,000 to over 700,000 euros per week, with the oldest and smallest hulls at the lower end and the most recent and largest commissions commanding the upper range. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent applies. The season is November through May, with the Christmas and New Year period booking well in advance for the most sought-after hulls. Feadship’s meticulous maintenance regimes and engineering systems redundancy are particular advantages on an itinerary like Rum Cay, where marina support is minimal and the nearest full provisioning infrastructure is a 130-mile passage away.
